Chapter 236

In the evening, the sun had already set, but the tram leading to Kyoto was packed with people.

No matter young or old, female passengers mostly wear bathrobes, which are colorful and have various patterns, which is dizzying.

"Next stop, Kyoto Station—Kyoto Station—"

It was dark outside, and the door glass reflected a corner of the interior.

Making eye contact with the phantom on the glass, Soya turned his head again and smiled at the girl in yukata standing beside him.

"Coming."

"Ah."

Kyoko nodded, supported her sister leaning in front of her with one hand, and looked at him again after a while.

"Don't keep staring..."

"Sorry." Soya smiled, looked away, and looked at the car window in front of him, "Kyoko like this is relatively rare, and I can't help but want to see more."

"..."

For example, the dark blue bathrobe that couldn't be more suitable, or the smooth nape of the neck exposed after the long hair was rolled up, and the slightly red cheeks that had faded from the coldness at this time.

Jingzi pursed her lower lip, and her eyes wandered over again.

"Compared with usual, is there a big difference?"

"I can't say that, it's just a different feeling."

"yes."

"This feeling is like Jingzi always facing me, but now she suddenly turned around, revealing a side that was not easy to notice before..."

Soya turned his head to look at her again, "But Kyoko is still Kyoko."

Kyoko also looked at him and nodded slowly.

"I understand Soya-san."

He smiled and looked out into the night.

"Also, this yukata suits Kyoko very well."

"Um...thank you."

The tram continues westbound.

After a while, the shadows in each other's eyes became blurred.After a while of deceleration, the tram stopped at a brightly lit platform.

"Kyoto Station, here we are—"

After getting off the tram, transfer to the Keihan Railway to Gion-Shijo Station. Soya and Kyoko pull Okko from side to side and return to the ground.

"A lot of people..."

Yuzi held her sister's hand tightly, and looked up at Soya, "Brother Soya, is this the first time to participate in the Xiaoshan Festival, please follow me and sister closely."

"Then please."

Soya nodded, then looked at Kyoko again, "Let's go."

"Ah."

After leaving Gion Shijo Station, in front of you is the Shijo-dori that connects Gion and Karasuma Street, and the South Block stands behind it with bright lights.

Roads around Shijo Karasuma have been closed to vehicles.

Standing at the intersection, people are coming and going on the Shijo Bridge, and young men and women in yukata can be seen everywhere, walking leisurely towards the Karasuma area.

Kamogawa flows quietly in the dark night, illuminated by the lights on both sides, it is very lively, and the Gion ditty played by the shamisen can be heard everywhere.

The more lively places are still ahead.

Go straight along Shijo Street, the closer you are to Karasuma Street, the more pedestrians will be on the road.

"That is……"

From a distance, Soya saw the long sword Hoko standing tall.

The long sword hoko, which has always been the first to appear in the Gion Festival Hoko Parade, has been assembled at this time and stands beside the street of Shijo Street.

Lanterns were hung up and down the long sword hoko, forming a bright wall of lights.Under the illumination of the lights, Soya saw the congestion near the hokki.

"There are too many people here."

The area where the 33 hokokos are located is the lively center of the eve festival, and the long sword hoko, which always takes the lead in the parade, is considered to have the most magical power of eliminating evil and filth, and is the center of the center.

"They're all here to snap up the long sword hoko's calamity dumpling..." Kyoko said, "The quantity is limited, and it's probably sold out by now."

"yes."

"And the long sword hokida car can be visited."

After looking at it for a while, Soya shook his head, "Forget it."

There are too many people who want to get in the car.

The same is true of another hoko cart not far away. The body of the cart is as tall as the long sword hoko, and at the top is a crescent moon with a gap facing the sky.

"That's Tsukihoko."

On the wide streets of Shijo-dori and Karasuma-dori, there are mostly tall hokocars like this, while relatively small floats are hidden in the alleys.

There are many temporary stalls on the side of the nearby road around the mountain cart hokocar, and the aroma of various foods is intertwined and permeates the entire street.

After walking forward for a while, Yuzi suddenly stopped and looked at the nearest stall.

"Brother, I want to eat octopus balls."

Jingzi squeezed her hand, "Yuzi..."

"It's okay, I'm a little hungry too."

Soya smiled, squeezed over there, waited in line, and came back with two servings of octopus balls after a while.

"Thank you~"

Tamako took one, and Soya handed the other takoyaki to Kyoko.

The small, round octopus balls were coated with sauce, and the sauce was sprinkled with finely chopped bonito flakes. Holding a bamboo stick, Kyoko put the balls into her mouth.

“The taste is very good...”

Biting the meatball, Soya also nodded.

Looking at the red and white lanterns on the hoko cart and the flow of people around them, the two of them finished sharing the octopus balls in the paper box, and they had already finished their exclusive jade.

"There are still many stalls on the road, let's eat while shopping."

"Uh-huh!"

There are Yamaboko everywhere, people everywhere, and places to visit everywhere. The heat and noise are intertwined, and the Shijo Karasuma of the Yoriyama Festival is not deserted.

Among the crowd, Soya and Kyoko didn't have any particular places they wanted to go or the Yamahoko floats they wanted to see. Wherever they went, the intermittently high-spirited Tamiko was the dominant direction.

She couldn't move anymore, and the two drifted with the crowd, following the nearby crowd to the area that hadn't been set foot tonight, until Yuzi regained her vitality and pulled them to a place that moved her heart.

Octopus balls, hot dogs, grilled tofu, kebabs... Despite restraining himself, he still ate a lot along the way. The food stalls on the roadside gradually lost their appeal, and Soya refocused his attention on sightseeing.

"Where is this side?"

Pulling Yuzi, Jingzi looked left and right, "It seems to be Xidongyuantong."

"West cave?"

Sogu thought for a while, "Where is Mantis Mountain?"

"Ah."

They had only been here two weeks ago. Although they were in a daze at the time, it was not the first time for Jingzi to come here. He was not familiar with the nearby roads, at least he knew them.

"Tanglangshan town is just ahead."

"Let's go and have a look."

"it is good."

Even if you don't remember the specific location of Mantis Mountain, it's not a problem, just follow the footsteps of passers-by.

After a while, Sogu saw Mantis Mountain with strings of white lanterns hanging on it.

The mountain car is relatively small, but Tanglang Mountain is even worse.

As the flow of people came to the mountain cart, the allusion of Mantis Mountain was written on the standing sign in front of it, which was derived from the "mantis arm as a cart" in "Zhuangzi".It's just different from the original intention. Here we take the fearless courage of its small strength but dare to face the invincible enemy.

There is a huge green mantis on the top of the mountain car, with its sharp claws stretched forward, which is lifelike under the light of the lantern.

"..."

With her hands clenched tightly, Sogu looked at Yuzi, she stared at the praying mantis above, obviously a little afraid.

"It feels like it's about to jump down..."

He smiled, and then saw the praying mantis on the hood suddenly waved its sharp claws, and its wings moved accordingly.

"ah--"

Yuzi screamed, and fell on Kyoko's lap again.

"It's an agency..."

Jingzi patted her on the back, "Someone is manipulating it inside."

"Really?"

Tamago looked back at the giant praying mantis, and Soya looked at her.

After all, it was a child, and even tears came out of fright.

And from the float underneath, a little girl about Yuzi's age came out, wearing a turquoise bathrobe, and suddenly made a face at her.

"..."

It seems that she was the one who manipulated the praying mantis just now.

After making funny faces, the little girl climbed off the roller coaster and disappeared in a blink of an eye, leaving only Yuzi who recovered her senses with an annoyed face.

Under the float, there is a much smaller model of a praying mantis, but the color and workmanship are far from realistic.

And this is another trick: through the connected disc, turn the little mantis for a circle, and a small ball with a number will be spit out.

Mantis lottery is very popular, if you want to get a lottery, you have to line up first, there are quite a lot of people.

"Would you like to try?" Soya looked at Kyoko.

Jingzi touched the back of her sister's head, "Yuzi."

"want……"

So the three lined up here.

The team moved forward slowly, and it was Zongya's turn after nearly half an hour.

Hold the disc and turn it clockwise for one circle, the mechanism under the mantis will open, and a small ball will roll out.

A girl in a bathrobe wearing a praying mantis mask climbed down from the float and handed him a signature corresponding to the number.

"Half auspicious..."

Soya stood aside with the signatures, and Kyoko and Yuzi followed and turned the disc, and got their signatures.

"Xiaoji." Jingzi showed him the signed document.

Yuzi was full of joy.

"Good luck!"

 Push the daily life of the harem
